HT5557 Permanently deleting books from iBooks

Is there away to perminantly delete books from ibooks?  I've deleted them but their picture still remains in the "cloud".  I want them gone.

You can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them via your computer's iTunes so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
After hiding them on your computer you might need to log out and back into your account on your iPad for them to be hidden on it - with iOS 7 I've been needing to do that for Apps, not sure if it also applies to books

    How can you permanently delete books from IBooks?

    You cant permanently delete them, but you can hide them.
    Pop into iTunes, and in the iTunes Store under Quick Links along the right hand side, you can see Purchases, and then sign in, look at your books and click on the X in the top left and it will hide them so you dont have to see them.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to I permanently delete books from iBooks?

    I have a couple books that show up in iBooks but aren't actually stored in iBooks. They have the little cloud icon at the top right. I am not interested in "hiding" these books. I want them permanently deleted from my account.

    You can't permanently delete any item from your account's purchase history, hiding them is all that you can do (that should stop them showing in the cloud for redownloading).

  • HT5557 How do I permanently delete books from iCloud?

    Trying to delete books from iBooks/iCloud.  Help.

    You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 - with apps and iOS 7, after hiding them on my computer's iTunes I've been having to then log out of my account on my devices and then log back for them to be hidden on that device.
    If ibooks that are only in the cloud are showing on the bookshelf in the iBooks app then you can turn that off via Settings > iBooks > Show All Purchases 'off'

    How can I permanently delete books from my IBooks account?

    You cannot permanently delete any purchases from your account. All purchases are tied to your Apple ID forever. You can hide purchases in iTunes on your computer.

  • Why can't I delete books from iBooks/iCloud?

    Why can't I delete books from iBooks/iCloud?

    What happens when you try to delete them from the iBooks app on your Mac ? If they are downloaded into the app (i.e. they don't have the cloud symbol on them) then you should be able to select them and then press the delete button on your keyboard to delete them.
    In terms of the cloud, you can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show for redownloading, which you can either do via your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    Or for the iBooks app you can go into the Store in the app, and on the Featured tab select the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the screen and hide them (hover your mouse pointer on a book and it should get an 'x' on its top left corner, click that to hide the book).

  • HT5772 how can i delete books from ibooks on iMac

    how can i delete books from ibooks on imac?

    That doesn't work. It only allows you to delete your local copy but keeps the book in your library. The instructions on Apple's site are also incorrect. They suggest going to iTunes and selecting Books from the Library menu, but there is no Books option under that menu in the current version.
    Anyone at Apple listening?

  • How can I permanently delete books from my purchased list

    How can I delete books from my purchased list?

    You can't permanently delete any item from your account's purchase history, hiding them is all that you can do.
    You can control which apps are backed up to the cloud via Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage on the device - do those apps show there, and you are able to delete their content from the backup there ?

  • Options to delete book from iBook app. I have tried Edit and Delete but it won't delete

    What are the possible options to delete a book from iBook? I've tried Edit>delete but it won't delete. I've tried to delete from iTunes but it is greyed out and won't let me delete it.

    Create new folders with the same names and move the messages into them. Then delete the old, now empty, folders.

  • I deleted books from ibooks and now I can't find the in purchased books.  I'd like to re-download a few of them.

  • Impossible to delete books from iBooks on my Mac

    I've read the answers to more or less similar questions, but they do not solve my problem. On my iMac (Yosemite) I can select the (non Cloud-)books I want to delete but when I answer Yes, I am sure I want to delete them from my Mac, nothing happens. The books stay were they are. It doesn't matter if I work in All Books, Lists, Sets or whatever. Closing and reopening iBooks also doesn't make a difference.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!!

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
